JERUSALEM – Israel declared a unilateral cease-fire Saturday in its 22-day offensive that turned Gaza neighborhoods into battlegrounds and dealt a stinging blow to the Islamic militants of Hamas. But Israeli troops will stay in the Palestinian territory for now and Hamas threatened to keep fighting until they leave.

In announcing the cease-fire, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Israel had achieved its goals and more.

More than 1,100 Palestinians have been killed in the offensive, about half civilians, according to Palestinian and U.N. officials. At least 13 Israelis have also died.

Believe it or not, I smell

Believe it or not, I smell something fishy in the works. Possibly the Israelis will stop the fighting, then Hamas massively attacks Israeli civilians (leaving big numbers) and who knows. Just because it seems like this conflict is over doesn't mean that it is. I'd like to believe that the fight in Gaza has stopped for good but it won't (it might stop in Gaza but it won't stop somewhere else). Stay alert!

Israel is not leaving Gaza

and they will start shooting the fish in the barrel again soon. I think it is a sign of "goodwill" to Obama right before he gets sworn in...until they blindside him with our next false flag.

300+ kids being killed is ok if it brings about a period of peace?!!
Not only that, but he also says the Gazans are so crazy they were the ones that probably did it to their own children??!! That guy is seriously messed up.
